8
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,000
given that Tucker Carlson's 
departure from Fox News was just

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,600
a few weeks ago known for his 
controversial commentary and 

10

14
00:00:57,100 --> 00:01:00,900

15
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:04,900
Spent made no reference to his 
former employer Fox News. 

16
00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:10,100
Instead Carlson seize the 
opportunity to lambast the media

17
00:01:10,100 --> 00:01:12,700
landscape more. 
Broadly decrying what he 

18
00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:16,000
perceives as it's groupthink 
Tendencies. 

19
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,900
Oh, Carl, send asserted that 
those in the news business 

20
00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:23,200
should aim for quote, the 
freedom to tell the fullest 

21
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,400

their invariably boundaries to

23
00:01:31,308 --> 00:01:34,900

In the news industry today, 
where the search for truth often

25
00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:42,200
clashes with institutional, 
constraints and public 

26
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,000
sensibilities. 
Now, Fox News and Carlson ended 

27
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,900
their professional relationship 
earlier this month. 

28
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,500
In a move that saw Carlson lose 
his Prime Time hosting slot

30
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,700
Carlson's a polarizing figure. 
He's been a Of the political, 

31
00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:04,200
right? 
He's earned the network and 

32
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,500
himself. 
A combination of adoration and 

33
00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:10,500
disdain for his views on Race 
immigration, gender identity, 

34
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,200
and the plethora of other 
socio-political issues and his 

35
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,200

Gap in Fox's lineup and his 

36
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,900

undoubtably have a significant 

37
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:27,200
impact on that platform?

41
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,300
revealed the reasons for the 
separation. 

42
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,000
However, rumors have been 
circulating that private text 

43
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,200
messages from Carlson, which 
contain disparaging remarks 

44
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,200
about. 
The Network's leadership, played

45
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,800
a huge role in the termination 
of his contract. 

46
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,900
Now, these messages were 
disclosed, as part of dominion 

47

48
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,800
enough And video Carl, send 
expressed concern over the 

49
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,800
dwindling number of platforms 
that support Free Speech noting 

50
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,700

tonight, there aren't many 

51
00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:15,000
platforms that left that allow 
Free Speech. 

52
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,400
Now he committed. 
Twitter, is a platform that has 

53
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,000
long been the breeding ground 
for National conversations. 

54
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,000
Now, Twitter, which was 
purchased by Tech billionaire, 

55
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,200
Elon Musk last year has seen a 
significant shift in its 

56
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,800
Community guidelines and 
content. 

57
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Adoration policies under musk's 
leadership. 

58
00:03:34,300 --> 00:03:37,000
These changes have drawn 
criticism from government and 

59
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,700
Technology officials who worried
about the implications of less 

60
00:03:40,700 --> 00:03:42,700
regulated content on the 
platform. 

61
00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:47,800
Musk's relationship with Carlos,
it is notable two days before 

62
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,400

conducted an in-depth interview 

63
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,900
with musk gonna show the 
connection between the two May 

64
00:03:54,900 --> 00:03:58,100
well have played a role in 
Carlson's decision to launch his

65
00:03:58,100 --> 00:04:02,000
new show on Twitter. 
Now despite this announcement 

66
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,400
Carlson remained cryptic about 
the specifics of this new 

67
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,100
Venture. 
He provided no details regarding

68
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:12,400
the length subject matter or 
frequency of his new show 

69
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,100
stating simply quote, starting 
soon. 

70
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,000
We'll be doing a new version of 
the show that we've been doing 

71
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,899
for the last six and a half 
years to Twitter. 

72
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,900
Now, Twitter CEO, Elon Musk 
responded to Carlson's, 

73
00:04:24,900 --> 00:04:29,000
announcement clearing, fi 
clarifying that no formal deal 

74
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,900

00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:39,000
rules and policies and musk 
expressed. 

77
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,900
Hope that other individuals, 
particularly those in the left 

78
00:04:41,900 --> 00:04:45,400
of the political Spectrum would 
also choose to become content 

79
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,800
creators on the platform. 
Now, musk's statement 

80
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,900
underscored his vision for 
Twitter as a dynamic platform 

81
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:56,100
for diverse voices emphasizing 
the platform's interactive 

82
00:04:56,100 --> 00:04:59,800
nature and a set on this 
platform unlike the one-way 

83
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,200
Street of Broadcast people are 
able to interact critique and 

84
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,600
refute. 
Whatever is said, now he also 

85
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,700
added that any misleading 
content would be flagged by 

86
00:05:08,700 --> 00:05:12,700
Community, notes, Twitter's 
dedicated account for Community,

87
00:05:12,700 --> 00:05:15,800
moderation, or Carlson's, move 
to Twitter. 

88
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,000
Comes amid a seismic shift in 
the media landscape right now, 

89
00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:22,600
we're traditional networks are 
grappling for the rise with the 

90
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,100
rise of digital platforms 
Twitter, which has largely been 

91
00:05:26,100 --> 00:05:29,200
used as a platform for short 
form, content and conversation. 

92
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:33,100
Now, find Itself in the Curious 
position of hosting a show from 

93
00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:37,300
a television personality. 
It's a significant step in the 

94
00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:40,200
evolution of social media 
platforms, hinting at the 

95
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,600
potential for new forms of 
content and engagement. 

96
00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:48,300
This move also signals a shift 
in Carlson's, career trajectory 

97
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,700
his transition from a 
traditional Network to a digital

98
00:05:51,700 --> 00:05:54,900
platform is a bold, one 
reflecting its desire to 

99
00:05:54,900 --> 00:05:56,800
continue to shape public 
discourse. 

100
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,800
Despite the controversies that 
have marred, his career. 

101
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,800
By moving his content to 
Twitter. 

102
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Carlson is effectively 
bypassing. 

103
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,200
The Gatekeepers of traditional 
media, directly connecting with 

104
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,900
his audience and controlling his
own narrative. 

105
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,000
As is the case with any major 
change questions are abound and 

106
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,800
how will Carlson's show fit into
the Twitter ecosystem? 

107
00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:20,100
Well, the platform's format and 
rules force, a shift in 

108
00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:23,200
Carlson's approach. 
And most importantly, how will 

109
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,700
this move impact? 
Twitter's users in the broader 

110
00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:29,000
discourse on the platform with a
details of the show, still under

111
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,800
wraps, we'll Have to wait to 
find out. 

112
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,800
Now elon's tenure is Twitter, 
CEO has been marked by a move 

113
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,200
towards less regulated content 
in a more laissez-faire approach

114
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,600
to moderation. 
His decision to roll back. 

115
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,000
Many of Twitter's Community 
guidelines and content. 

116
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,600
Moderation policies has provoked
criticism and concern. 

117
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,500
Now his welcoming of Carlson a 
figure known for the divisive 

118
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,700
commentary is likely to stoke, 
further, debate about the 

119
00:06:57,700 --> 00:07:00,000
platform's direction, under 
Alon. 

120

been running for over six years.

123
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,100
He said, we'll bring you some 
other things to which will tell 

124
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:17,600
you about. 
But for now we're just grateful 

125
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,200
to be here. 
Now musk, meanwhile, seems 

126
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,900

for a diverse content.

can interact directly with their
audiences.
